Lol, the Dolphins might be the worst team in the NFL. Getting blown out. The Bills and Jets with no offensive points through a whole half of football. The division is so bad. The Patriots would win it with a cheerleader as a QB.

Apparently, Brown can be still suspended by the NFL for the conduct policy.

Lol, Kyrie Irving looks like a gentleman compared to his situation with the Celtics versus Antonio Brown though. I'm sure people won't see it that way on here. There's a bit of difference between the NBA and the NFL. Let's see. If Brad Stevens was Bill Belichick and Antonio Brown was the QB that was supposed to singlehandedly win every game, then it would be similar. But the Pats are a team that didn't need Brown to win unlike what the Celtics needed from Kyrie. Plus, no one is going to put up with Brown doing his diva shit with the Pats, like they did with Kyrie on the Celtics. Brown gets a short leash and a blank slate in his final chance. I mean seriously, what would Belichick do with a Kyrie on his team? He'd get cut. The Patriots put up 3 years of Moss before getting rid of him. They put up with Brandon Browner for a whole season too. You'd be surprised to know how much BB puts up with, if the player is productive. He only cuts them when they're a problem and declining.

That isn't true. They paid the freight and contract for Stephon Gilmore. They'll pay a premium for people they truly value. Alright, it's true almost every single time with rare exceptions or do you want to argue with that too? They also get rid of guys at the peak of their value before they decline and then get them back after some other team paid a shit ton in either a trade or salary or both for a small fraction. I mean, I get called out for making definitive statements that isn't supposedly true, and I returned the favor. The Patriots can operate differently with Tom Brady at QB the past 20 years. They're also a destination to win and a destination to rebuild value because of that. To his credit, BB takes advantage of that all the time.

Belated birthday present for Tommy. Sort of like the Moss deal. Moss was a diva in Oakland, but straightened out here. Maybe they'll have Moss talk to him. If he can't play for BB, he can't play anywhere. I wonder how they'll handle their salary cap. Somebody gets restructured. McCourty? Release a vet? They must have figured it out already. Right now I'm in shock. Head swimming, etc. Lol they will find room for him no problem. It's exactly like Randy Moss.

They tried to trade for him and even offered a better pick than the Raiders did. They clearly wanted him. He's an elite player, so like Gordon, they'll get infinite chances. It's amazing how the Raiders gave up a 3rd and a 5th for him to play in New England. That's how the Patriots have done what they've done for so long. Never ever pay a premium for anyone. That isn't true. They paid the freight and contract for Stephon Gilmore. They'll pay a premium for people they truly value.

The Sox gain a game against Cleveland and a half a game on Oakland. The Sox have been hovering around the same spot in the wild card standings for 1-2 weeks now.

At least Aaron Sanchez turning into yet another great pitcher as soon as he goes to Houston didn't turn out to be true. He's now out for the season getting shoulder surgery and was just as awful in his last 2 starts as he was all year. Well he was hurt. So that explains his last 2 starts. They'll just have to turn him into a ACE or bullpen stud next year.

I'm not no pitching guru, but I know it's hard for a even healthy pitcher in his 30's to ramp up for a long major league season. Now take these same two pitchers and have them recover from these injuries in the same off-season, instead of ramping up for 2020 the whole time. Yeah I can see this going downhill in a hurry. Sale's elbow will either pop up again or it won't, even with the rest. A bad elbow will be a bad elbow 6 months from now. We will see in spring training on that one. Who knows about Price though? He's now getting into his mid 30's now next year. He's had elbow tendonitis and now this cyst pop up, along with other elbow problems pop up periodically through the years. The age thing is a huge deal. It adds more variance and increases things like injuries to pop up more and more. The performance thing becomes unpredictable when you add things like this to the equation. So - You are saying no shot for either of these guys next year to produce for most of the season? I'm saying I'm not betting on one season, considering the last post I made. There's a chance that one or both of these guys gives you half or less the production than we're accustomed to seeing from Sale and Price.

I love the smile on Colin Moran after. I would have trashed talked my brother in the middle of the at bat. Maybe even called my own shot like Babe Ruth.
On the other side of it; as a little brother myself, there probably wouldn't have been a better feeling than striking out my older brother. I would have walked around like Marcus Stroman after that.

Now Price is back on the IL. That's two starting pitchers who are going to end the year on the IL most likely and people want to keep Mookie for one year and go for it in 2020 knowing this? Yes. I think that is acceptable. You are saying no shot for either of these guys next year to produce for most of the season? I'm not no pitching guru, but I know it's hard for a even healthy pitcher in his 30's to ramp up for a long major league season.

Not to be positive, but Eovaldi threw well. Good to have him next year, if his elbow can finally last 162 games. He's probably just like Eduardo Rodriguez. He might give you a full year next year, but nothing is guaranteed with either of them year to year durability wise.

4 days in October was in 2004. This one is over. I actually find it amazing the Red Sox were the only team in history to pull off the feat. It's not like a 4 game win streak is unfathomable. Anything is possible when Ortiz and Pedro, my 2 heroes, are on the same team.

I'll be listening on non foot ball days. Baseball won't be my first priority in 2019 no more, for sure. I like the Patriots' chances better than the Red Sox' chances. How's that? I feel like I've reached the acceptance stage of the 2019 Red Sox season grieving period. I spent my anger during that 8 game losing streak and now I'm ready to move on - to football season and what I anticipate will be a very interesting offseason for the Red Sox - certainly more interesting than the actual games of the nowhere 2019 season. I just hope the MFYs don't win the Series. That's all I have left for this baseball season - because that would truly piss me off. Yeah that last Porcello start is where I truly lost it myself. One of the only healthy starters left, and then he gives you that. My behavior was probably a little out of character, but I don't regret it or don't regret saying he's a bum. Yeah, the only guarentee we get out of life is Tom Brady until he's gone. I'll be watching a lot of Celtics too, depressingly in October knowing that baseball doesn't matter. I'll be scoreboard watching the MFY's, hoping this doesn't become a year where you stink enough to not get a pick in the 20's for the Sox, you don't get to the playoffs, and the MFY's win. Life will suck until next October, if that's the case. Listening to obnoxious MFY everywhere on Twitter. My god, nothing will be worse. Add- Next off-season will be all about the Mookie watch imo.

Well that should wrap up this season, between the A's winning, this game, and the Price injury. You're now watching for your own torture, pleasure, or whatever. This season is officially over. Tough one Pedro. But I will be watching for all those reasons and more. Till the bitter end. It is gonna be a damn long off season. I'll be listening on non foot ball days. Baseball won't be my first priority in 2019 no more, for sure.
